"I don't share this view about Romney after collecting some facts. In my view, Romney's qualifications and resolve in the WOT are equal to Giuliani.
That is his campaign platform, but how will he react if he becomes president and
1. Congress passes resolutions and cuts funding
2. The NYTimes and the WoPo say his plan is illegal.
3. CAIR calls him a meanie and a racist.
I think I know how Guiliani woudl deal with such people, but I'm not so sure about Romney.

RE 1.) The very foundation of Romney's reputation has been his ability to manage situations mired in financial crisis, politics, and scandal that others considered hopeless and turn them into successes (e.g., Bain & Co., 2002 Olympics, Mass. budget crisis).
RE 2.) Gay activists made frequent claims of illegality against Romney in his defense of traditional marriage, especially in the suits filed to stop his enforcement of the little-known 1913 law preventing non-resident gays from marrying in MA and his diligent efforts to get a defense of marriage amendment on the ballot. The Boston Globe spun every allegation as if it were fact.
RE 3.) As a conservative governor in the most liberal state in the U.S., Romney was savaged by the Boston Globe on a weekly basis and called every name in the book by abortion rights groups for his pro-life stands and gay activists for his defense of marriage. Racism charges where leveled against him when he sought an arrangement where MA State Troopers could investigate and arrest illegal aliens and when he vetoed other legislation favoring illegal aliens.
Romney has dealt with the worst the Left can dish out. I can't think of anyone, Republican or Democrat, that I would trust more to manage tough situations.
